Jenson's not making mistakes, but I'd say he's being over cautious, he should've had Lewis in Singapore at the start and Alonso In Suzuka.

Got to agree with that one

Oi, you saying your another one who keeps disagreeing with me ? I won't stand for this,

When Racechick agrees with you it means you have accidentally complimented lewis.

Heh, quite probably, but not in this instance I think. Perhaps accidentally criticising Alonso works? No that doesn't work as the same logic would see me criticising Lewis as well. . .

F1 : Shell blends advanced biofuel for Ferrari at Korean Formula 1 Grand Prix

Shell today announced that it has blended a second advanced biofuel into fuel supplied to Scuderia Ferrari for the last three races of the 2010 Formula One championship.

Scuderia Ferrari will use a fuel containing 'biogasoline', a biofuel converted directly from plant sugars. The 'biogasoline' has been produced by Shell’s technology partner Virent at its facility in Madison Wisconsin, USA.

Since the start of the Formula One season in March, the fuel Shell supplied to Scuderia Ferrari has contained a biofuel component made from cellulosic ethanol, an advanced biofuel made from straw.

For the remaining three races of the season, the Shell fuel will contain both advanced biofuels.

The Virent process uses catalysts to convert plant sugars directly into petrol and petrol blend components, like those produced at a petroleum refinery.

The sugars can be sourced from more sustainable non food raw materials such as corn stover, wheat straw and sugar cane residue, or from conventional biofuel feed-stocks such as sugar beet, corn, wheat and sugar cane.

The energy content of Virent’s 'biogasoline' is the same as or better than premium petrol and can be blended seamlessly into conventional petrol.

In the future this could eliminate the need for any specialized infrastructure, engine modifications or blending equipment for use by Shell’s customers.

Shell has been working closely together with Scuderia Ferrari all season to develop the fuel supplied, by leveraging the current FIA regulations and continuing to optimise fuel performance.

“We are delighted that the fuel we are supplying to Scuderia Ferrari this season contains a second advanced bio component,” says Dr Lisa Lilley, Shell’s Technology Manager for Ferrari.

“This announcement clearly demonstrates Shell’s leadership and commitment to the development of sustainable, lower carbon fuels. At Shell, we are accelerating the research, development and demonstration of advanced biofuels and we are committed to technical innovation through our motorsport activities.”

"We are very pleased to be the first Formula One team to be using two advanced biofuel components in our racing fuel, developed and supplied by Shell. Ferrari is proud to share the same commitment as Shell, in developing a more sustainable future in Formula One," says Luca Marmorini, Head of the Engine & Electronics Department, Scuderia Ferrari.

F1 : Gerhard Berger - Selfish Fernando Alonso is Formula 1 title favourite

Fernando Alonso's rivals will need to be as "selfish" as the Spaniard to beat him to the 2010 Formula One title, according to Gerhard Berger.

Although the former Grand Prix winner, a close friend of Red Bull mogul Dietrich Mateschitz, believes Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel are in the best car, Berger thinks Ferrari's Alonso is the better driver.

"Only if they're as selfish as Alonso will they be World Champion this year," the Austrian is quoted by Sport Bild.

"For me he's the best driver at the moment overall, he has experience and is still young enough to be going flat out without fear," added Berger.

29 year old Alonso can also count on the full support of the Ferrari team, whose other driver Felipe Massa has fallen into line behind him.

"Ferrari cannot do better than Alonso, and there is no better place for Alonso than Ferrari," said Berger, backing the Italian team's philosophy.

In a separate interview with APA news agency, Berger said Adrian Newey's RB6 is in a "class of one" in 2010, and dismissed rivals complaints about its legality as "cheap politics".

[What's Burning?]

Ferrari putting all their support behind their only driver that capable of winning a title for them, you'd have to be crazy to pursue any other strategy.

Red Bull and McLaren, with two drivers each able to win and also each supporting their WCC efforts, supporting both drivers equally, you'd have to be crazy to support any other strategy.

He may well be pee'ing his pants, but it is rather harsh of you to point it out.
